pop vs secret intake *opinions please*

So i'm thinking of getting a new intake rather than the oem g35coupe intake, and i've come to two choices.

JWT Pop Charger (which everyone seems to praise)
or
Weapon R Secret Weapon 3.5" intake

I know its mostly for sound, as this topic has been raped many a time, but if anyone has been able to compare the two, please offer advice.

I say JWT Pop since it comes with a heat shield. At least you can salvage a little performance with that sound. Plus the JWT filter design seems better to me.

who cares about the legality of intakes? theyre just intakes..swap the stock one back in in 15 mins and swap it out in 15 mins if you get a ticket.

i agree, but as long as i keep the stock one at home, and change it, it won't be a problem will it? or will they actually fine me a ton for "illegal intake?" Can cops even tell legal intakes from non-approved ones?

WeaponR FTW!! i love mine, its different and most people already have the JWT, not many ppl have the WR, the JWT is a little louder at WOT but the WR sounds better imo.
